Nise spotted close to the boat dock!

21th July

Good weather, about 14 degrees.

Went over to some of our neighbours.
When watching out the window from their cabin, I saw something moving in the water. Something I thought was an otter or seal at first. After a longer glance we saw it was a nise just at the boat dock. It was swimming so close, and what we saw was the tumbler fin coming up and down. It almost touched the boats and the pier, and then it was gone.
I had left the phone in our cabin so I didn’t have the chance to seize this opportunity on film.

Nises being spotted!

24th June (transfered from document)

Nice weather, about 12 degrees.

During a midday walk at the old Skreda street, I spy after something you think you see now and then when it is not. Something that can be a wave hitting a underwater hill or just a strange wave… or something more interesting.
Lucky enough it appeared to be what I thought: a nise (artic dolphin), and not the more boring one.
This time I had the phone up in time to both get a picture of the fin and to video tape the fin coming up several times after each other. What was suprising is that the nise appeared very close to land, probably only 30 meters out.

When I came back and showed the video to Johan I had the idea it could be one small nise, when Johan thought it is probably two nises swimming close to each other.

Later we also heard that some of the tourists at the fishing camp had seen killer whales at the south side of Nappstraumen. Something I long to see, as I have not seen them yet. My video of nise(s) sounded like not so cool anymore, comparing to that vision. 😉

Johan went out with the boat nearby and got some small cods, perfect lunch fishes!
